Modern Day Hippies Might Wanna Check Out Rad New Logan Square Yoga Studio

LOGAN SQUARE — Complete with a rickshaw, psychedelic murals and walls bathed in patterned strobe lights, new Logan Square yoga studio Livity aims to attract artists, creative types and those eager to stretch their bodies at 10 p.m. on a weekday night.

"This location really found me. A lot of the neighborhood is changing and losing the creative and artistic influences that made it great. We wanted to build a space for creative and conscious people," Livity's owner Corey Kelly said during a tour this week.

Next to Concord Music Hall, the massive 7,500-square-foot Livity Chicago is planning to offer two free yoga sessions on Thursday night for the curious to check it out during its opening week, Kelly said.

Kelly described Livity, 2049 N. Milwaukee Ave., as "a gathering place for the conscious and creative community, comprised of those who are actively working to elevate themselves to their greatest potential and those who seek to improve."

An adjacent 84-seat lounge will serve herbal nonalcoholic drinks and food in about a month, after the yoga studio is fully underway. The lounge features a mural by Logan Square artist Jason Brammer along one of the walls.

"We cannot wait to share this beautiful new space with you. Our conscious community center, our urban temple, a place for us all to grow, to glow and let go, cause you know we grow together," Danny Be said in an introduction video on Livity's Facebook page.
